I think envy is a normal emotion I have some envy not about someone's relationship but about: entrepreneurial success, I try and let what I want motive me, model myself after what I want, make a plan and work towards what I want! I think you are right about changing it up sometimes and meeting new people and going new places you are bound to meet more people you have things in common with. The key is not to let envy overtake you.... LOVE your life its an opportunity

1) Some people are just putting up a front and behind closed doors they are unhappy ... and really wish they had the freedom you have! For example, I've purchased many houses all my myself .. so I have pride in this and I can't tell you how many married gfs I have that have never done this and are jealous of my accomplishments. Everything they have pretty much is based on their JOINT efforts so she can't be a badassed independant woman. Noo.

2) Some people are really very happy/content in their relationship. However a relationsip but nature is 'restrictive'. Meaning .. there was a point that I quit work for 3 months so I could work on a cure for AIDs in the Belize rainforest. If I was married or even in a relationship ... that would have posed a MAJOR problem. When you are in a relationship for X years ... it's WORK to keep the spark going. You have to compromise etc .. so no I can't say I would want to be married to the SAME guy since was 20 because of all the experiences I would have missed.

There's good and bad to both sides so don't think that once you find 'the right guy' everything will be perfect in your life.
